Enantioselective conversion of primary alcohols to ?-exo-methylene ?-butyrolactones via iridium-catalyzed C-C bond-forming transfer hydrogenation: 2-(alkoxycarbonyl)allylation.


ABSTRACT: Upon exposure of acrylic ester 1 to alcohols 2a-i in the presence of a cyclometalated iridium catalyst modified by (-)-TMBTP, catalytic C-C coupling occurs, providing enantiomerically enriched 5-substituted ?-exo-methylene ?-butyrolactones 3a-i. Bromination of the methylene butyrolactone products followed by zinc-mediated reductive aldehyde addition provides the disubstituted ?-exo-methylene ?-butyrolactones 6a and 6b with good to excellent levels of diastereoselectivity.
